Short diary to thank Malia Obama, 10, for sharing her birthday with so many others in Butte, Mont.
I'm the father of a 10 year old girl myself. I know how important birthdays are.
Here's my birthday wishes for you. I'll be going to my father in law's later today for a cookout. You and he share a birth date with this country. Born on the 4th of July. And I'm going to be talking to him about you and your father. I hope both you and my father in law have wonderful birthdays.
The Montana crowd where the Obamas hosted a 4th of July picnic sang "Happy birthday" to her.

Please joining me in wishing Malia a very happy birthday.
